Latest in Regulations and Mandates
As the industry transitions from the Single European Sky (SES) operational framework to a new European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) framework, what are the challenges of the new framework for aviation, in particular for manufacturers and ANSPs? What’s the latest with SESAR 3 in delivering the Digital European Sky? How will the new framework, comprising five regulations, increase interoperability, make the performance of ATM ground equipment more uniform, and support the introduction of innovative technologies to reduce air congestion? How do Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) navigate the implementation process of the new framework? Standardization and simplification of regulations are key objectives to ensure a smooth transition. The ongoing debate between EASA and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) highlights the complexities of international cooperation in aviation regulation. Additionally, the rapid development of drones and EVTOL aircraft necessitates updates to existing regulations to accommodate these emerging technologies.
